Not only would this proposal give special meaning to existing smb.conf files, this is in general a bad idea, unless you used a chroot(), where this kind of thing becomes meaningless. There is only one winbindd per host, and if the two hosts were to export the same directories, then they would need to share the same locking databases. Administrators constructing such a setup would need to fully understand the consequences - making it automagic would seem a bad idea in this case.
